Trying to make Kelp

[gentlemango]

Hi I'm trying to recreate the kelp stalks from Abzu, and I'm trying to figure out if Obi Rope is a good solution.

I'm not looking to have as many kelp as they do, maybe between 10-20, but I'm looking to emulate the visuals and behavior of the kelp as closely as possible.

Here is what I'm hoping to achieve:

• Grow and shrink the kelp dynamically
  
• Kelp stalks swaying
  
• Leafs being pulled around by the stalks
  
• Have 'current' forces that push kelp stalks and leafs around
  

Note that I don't need the kelp to be pushed around by the player or other moving objects, but I wouldn't mind it either.

Does that seem feasible with Obi Rope?
